Event 2: The New Case BeginsIt was really early morning, many people were waking up in that time. In front of the DDS, a young girl in an age of fourteen was standing in the DDS front gate. She has a cheerful smile that was on her lips, too cute if you could describe it.
"Don't worry Hi-kun. You'll be no longer alone anymore!" the girl exclaimed.
It's already a week since Takahashi Hitori came in DDS, many were rumors that he is called 'Akuma na Kodomo'. Some of them were afraid to be near at him, but the Class Q? They don't mind it yet they think Hitori was really an interesting person. Ever want their eyes color changing depends to their moods? Now that's really cool! But there are also fan clubs for Hitori due to his smile and kindness in him.
Kyu, Meg and Kinta were playing card game. Meg seems to be winning at this round while both Kinta and Kyu were having hard time on choosing the cards. Kazuma was busily reading on his laptop that has important in there, and Ryu was staring outside behind the window's view. Where's Hitori? He's not in the classroom.
"Hm… I wonder how Hitori-kun's feeling right now?" Meg wondered,
"I'm sure Hitori is fine maybe there's another argument of his grandfather." Said Kinta. "You know family business."
"By the way have you guys noticed on Hitori's name?" Kyu asked.
"Hm? What about it, Kyu?" Ryu asked as he heard the conservation.
"Yeah what was it, Kyu?" said Kinta.
"Don't you think Hitori means 'fire bird'?" said Kyu.
"…Come to think of think I also notice it too." Kazuma answered, "I just wondered why his father named him Hitori?"
"Who knows about it." Said Kinta.
"Ummm… you know guys… last week I heard Hitori-kun saying that we're the second one who accepts him after the incident. Maybe there's another person aside of us." Said Meg.
"Anou…" said the girl.
Class Q turned their heads and saw a young girl who seems to be in an age of fourteen. The girl's appearances were attractive for her age. She has pair of deep blue eyes like the color of the ocean's water, her pretty short hair was blackish blue with a strand of bang over her ears. The girl was wearing a white short sleeve with a hood on her back and a red and gray cross in front of her shirt, a short black skirt with a black short under her on it, and she's wearing a knee length light brown boots.
"Whoa… she looks cute in that age." Kinta muttered.
Meg hit at Kinta's head, "Watch your mouth, Kinta." She said.
"Is there something we can help you?" Kyu asked the girl.
"Yes… can anyone of you will tell me if you know any of this person." Said the girl.
"Sure. So who is this person you're looking for?" Ryu asked her.
She started to say, "I'm looking a boy named…"
The girl was about to say the name of the person that she was looking for until Hitori came in the class. The brunette haired lad was gasping a lot and he was half sweating. Kyu looked at Hitori curiously on why he's sweating like that.
"I'm sorry I'm late! My alarm clock got broken." Exclaimed Hitori.
"What do you mean, Hitori-kun? It's only five minutes before class start." Meg corrected.
Hitori sighs relief knowing that he wasn't in deep trouble. He turned his head then he got shocked as he saw the young girl was staring at him with a happy expression. Ryu and Meg saw Hitori's face was shocked, as he seems to know the girl. Also they say Hitori's raging red eyes turned into pink.
"A—Am—Ame-chan?" he said.
"HI-KUN!" the girl exclaimed happily.
The girl went nearer to the brunette haired lad and gave him a hug around Hitori's waist. Kinta and Kazuma stared at the unidentified girl surprisingly at that. Kyu, Meg and Ryu only stared at the mysterious girl hugging Hitori curiously.
"WHAT? HE'S THE ONE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?" Kinta shouted.
"Um! Hi-kun's my childhood friend." Said the girl.
"Hold on… the one who accepts him before us was… so…" said Meg, "Are you the first person whom Hitori-kun prefers?"
"Yup your guess is right, neesan." She said.
"Umm… You mind if you tell us your friend's name first?" Kyu asked her.
"Oh right, Ame-chan, these are my new friends Minami Megumi or Meg as she refers, Narusawa Kazuma, Tooyoma Kintarou or Kinta, Kyu, and Amakusa Ryu." Hitori introduced, "Guys this is my friend, Nakashima Ameki."
"Hajimeshita! Hi-kun told me about you guys a lot." she said. "I'm really grateful on making friend with him."
The girl called Nakashima Ameki was still hugging the blushing brunette haired lad. Not knowing that she was still hanging on his waist and Hitori was getting really embarrassed right in front of his classmates. Yet little know that the pink orbs were still on Hitori's eyes.
"Your eyes changed into pink, Hitori-kun." Meg stated. "You're embarrassed?"
"Yeah… we all can see it." Kyu agreed.
"UWAAA! You saw it?" the brunette lad screamed.
"What's the wrong if we see pink ones?" Kazuma asked.
"Now this time it's pink." Said Kinta.
"I see that you all know his color eyes changing." Said Ameki happily.
"Ameki, huh? Your name means 'rain spirit', isn't that right?" said Ryu.
"Sou da you ne, Ryu-kun." Answered the energetic girl.
"What are you doing here, Ame-chan? Aren't you supposed to be in the other school?" Hitori asked her,
Ameki stared at Hitori looking innocently at him, the brunette lad winced at the look. It was the impression again from her that he wouldn't like it very much. His pink orbs changed back to its original color.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that you'll be surprise that you'll see me." Said Ameki.
"…No way…" he whispers.
"Yes way!" she said.
"So that's where you are, Ms. Nakashima." Said a familiar female voice.
They all turned their heads and saw Katagiri and Principal Dan who are behind Hitori. Of course Katagiri also saw the eyes color changing on the brunette lad.
"Why are your eyes changed into pink, Mr. Takahashi?" Katagiri asked.
"Please don't remind." Hitori answered as his eyes finally turned back to his raging red.
"A! Sorry that I didn't get in the office, Katagiri-san." Said Ameki, "I just want to see this class."
"It's been awhile since I last met you, Ms. Nakashima." Said Principal Dan.
"Hiyya Uncle Dan." Ameki greeted him cheerfully.
"UNCLE?" they all exclaimed except Ryu.
"Are you blood related?" Ryu asked them politely.
"Unfortunately no, Ryu. You see Ms. Ameki's father and Principal Dan were friends since high school. He used to visit Mr. Nakashima's house and sees Ameki." Katagiri explained.
'SILENT'After for some explanation and the girl's announcing, Hitori was really pouting and sighing a lot. The girl named Nakashima Ameki was smiling very cheerfully to the Class Q. And Meg was really curious on how Ameki knows Hitori.
"Really… Ame-chan why didn't you tell me that you're also going to study with me?" Hitori asked her.
"Eh? Didn't I say a long time ago that I also want to become a detective? Also you didn't tell me that you're going to a Detective Academy. So I went to this entrance exam." Ameki explained.
"Oh so Nakashima Ameki was your friend, am I right, Mr. Takahashi?" said Katagiri.
"Yes…" he answers.
"Anyway I don't want to be rude but what came you here, Principal Dan?" Ryu asked him,
"Okay but first I want you all in your seats." Said the legendary detective.
They all went to their proper seating including Ameki who get to sits beside with Hitori.
"Class Q, I'm here because I want you all to investigate of this case." Principal Dan announced
Katagiri gave the data file to each Class Q to know about the case. Kyu was the first one who opened the file folder, and saw a picture of a 45 years old woman that was attached to the paper.
"Hm? Isn't that Harada Risuke-san the owner of the hotel?" Kyu asked.
"Yes… and I heard her husband died first before they're about to burry Daiki's coffin." Said Meg.
"As you see in that file. There's a mystery to her death that remains unanswered." Principal Dan said. "Take a look on the next page."
The Class Q turned their file pages on the next one just like what Principal said. To what they're seeing is photo that was taken from a crime scene where the victim's body was found. In the photo Risuke was found lying on the floor dead with her eyes and mouth are both opened, and what's more is they saw her holding the phone. Below of her body there was no bloods are flowing out of her skin.
"Hey now that is really strange…" said Kyu.
"Risuke had locked the room since she lost her husband she wants to be alone for awhile." Katagiri explained. "But what a mystery that she died while answering the phone?"
"Hm? Wait a minute it looks exactly the same as Daiki!" Meg recalled.
"What do you mean, Meg?" Kyu asked.
"I remember from the news the body of Daiki was lying on the floor while he was holding the phone very tightly." Meg answered
"Meg's right. I also saw Daiki's gripped on the phone from the news too." Said Hitori
"Just like what happen to Daiki, Risuke died while holding the phone." Principal finished.
"Whoa! That's a real mystery!" said Kyu.
"Also they believe that it was Daiki's ghost who took Risuke." Katagiri added. "They even believe that Risuke receives a call from her husband and her soul was taken away."
The Class Q were all determined at their newest case to their investigation. Principal Dan could see it in their eyes that they're all ready to take the case.
"That's all for now and Class Q you may begin your investigation!" announced Principal Dan.
They are now in the place of the crime scene where it takes place of the victim— in the Harada house. Ameki was getting all jumpy since this was the first time that she's going to investigate a real crime scene. However Hitori was nervous at this yet he was cool with it. They're in the Harada living room with five suspects who are connected to the victim.
"My name's Harada Lia. I'm the only daughter of Okasan and Otousan." Lia introduced.
"I'm Atsuki Mishiko the maid around the house." Said Mishiko,
"I'm the Harada-san's diver Wakamiya Akito." Akito introduced.
"We're the Harada's gardeners I'm Edo and this is Moriko." Two gardeners introduced.
Kazuma was typing down the name of the suspects and their alibis that may help them to memorize of their side story before or after the crime has taken.
"Tell me which one of you found the victim's body." Kinta asked.
"Ah… that would be me." Akito answered.
"They said that you and Lia weren't home at 1 o'clock and you came around by six thirty night." Hitori stated.
"Where were you before Risuke's death?" Ryu asked next.
"I was with Ms. Harada on her shopping. I spent with her the whole hour." The driver answered.
"Moriko and I were working on the garden. We were trimming the grass and the bushes just like what Harada-sama ordered." Edo answered.
"I was cleaning and handling on dinner. I did go to Harada-sama's room just to ask her if she wants some more snacks. But I didn't since I know that she was deep depressed." Mishiko answered.
"Thank you for your operation." They said.
The Class Q all left the room leaving the suspects in there, Hitori looked at Ameki with serious expressions.
"So did you find something wrong on those people, Ame-chan?" Hitori asked her.
"No their sounds doesn't seems bad except two of them doesn't fit." Ameki answered
"What sound?" Kinta asked.
"Oh sorry about that. I forgot to tell you that Ame-chan also has supernatural ability. She can listen to the people's sound and can tell if their tone are either bad or good." He explained.
"I see… that sounds really cool." Kyu compliment at Ameki again with flashing eyes.
"Something tells me that there must be other supernatural abilities on Hitori-kun and Ameki." Meg whispers softly.
"So which tone of them aren't good, Ameki?" Ryu asked her.
"Hmm… Between Moriko and Edo but I'm not sure if their alibis are fit to this investigation." She answered, "They're both unsure."
"I see… let's all looked in Risuke's room, shall we?" Kazuma asked.
They all went up and reached in Harada Risuke's room just like from the photo on the data file folder they saw the room was impossible for the killer to make a chance to kill the victim.
"Could it be another sealed room?" Kinta asked.
"It would be possible but what if the killer use from the windows?" Kazuma asked.
"That is also impossible, Kazuma. Think carefully if the killer use the window it might be wearing gloves to prevent identify someone's fingerprints. Two all the windows are shut and lock very tight. And lastly, the killer wouldn't break the window." Ameki explained.
Ryu goes to the windows and check at each of them. Just like what Ameki said was right. They're all locked and it cannot be break in or use for the killer on murdering Risuke.
"Ameki's right. There is no way that the killer could've used the window." Hitori supports Ameki.
"So in other words, the killer used a different method but in what way?" said Ryu.
They all sat on the floor thinking and questioning really carefully on their investigation. While Ameki looks around the room then she looks at the floor where the dead body was lied down. She took out of her DDS notebook and got some usable tool on it.
"What are you doing, Ame-chan?" Hitori asked her.
"Looking for clues, Hi-kun. But sadly there's nothing I could find." She answered.
"That is really a big mystery almost like a supernatural phenomena." Kinta muttered.
As Ryu and Hitori heard Kinta's muttering as he said about Supernatural phenomena it hit their heads.
"You know guys this case looks like from Boston?" Ryu asked.
"I supposed you may be right, Ryu." The brunette lad agreed.
"Was it that?" Kinta asked.
"Really you don't know?" said Hitori.
"Hey what was it?" Meg asked who seem really irritated.
"Okay tell us what you have?" said Kyu.
"Well you see… there is one connection to this case." Said Hitori. "That reminds me of an urban legend."
